Course description

Sem 1:

Project: Element Presentation: Students research an element of choice from the periodic table. Students use reference materials and internet sites to collect data/information about the element. Then; present findings in a multimedia presentation.

Lab: Rate of Chemical Reactions: Students complete a virtual lab; accompanied with a lab report; where they explore the effects of variables on the rate of chemical reactions.

Lab: Density of Solids Students complete a virtual lab; accompanied with a lab report; where they explore the process for determining the density of a solid using a laboratory procedure.

Lab: Acids and Bases: Students complete a virtual lab; accompanied with a lab report; where they explore the concept of pH and how to determine if a substance is acidic or basic using a laboratory procedure.

†

Sem 2:

Lab: Magnetic and Electric Fields:† Students complete a virtual lab; accompanied with a lab report; where they explore the connection between magnetic and electric fields using a laboratory procedure.

Project: Gravity Presentation:Students create a PowerPoint presentation that explains the importance of gravity on Earth; based on evidence.

Lab: Newton's Laws of Motion: Students complete a virtual lab; accompanied with a lab report; where they explore Newton?s first two laws of motion using a laboratory procedure.

Project: Egg Drop: Students build a device that will keep an egg from cracking when it is dropped from a certain height.† Then test the device; determine how well it worked; and make recommendations to improve its design. Students then present final design and the logic that supports it in a lab report.

Lab: Motion: Students complete a virtual lab; accompanied with a lab report; where they explore motion by determining the speed and acceleration of an object using a laboratory procedure.
